UI module on a Mac?

halloleooo

I'm back on Pythonista! Used it quite a bit a few years ago for some automation and it's cool that it is still going strong! :-)

But now I'm playing with UIs: Is it possible to develop and run scripts using the ui module and */pyui files on a (non-M1) Mac? Is there a version of the ui module available which runs with normal Mac/Linux versions of Python?

I saw in this forum that Pythonista itself seems to run on M1 Macs, but unfortunately I am way off getting a new Mac...

Thanks for any pointers!

Things have not really changed on this issue. The UI module and .pyui files are still iOS only. The Mac UI platforms like tkinter, Pygame, PyQT, wxpython, etc. do not run on Pythonista or Pyto.

I have been hearing people talking about https://www.outsystems.com as a platform for building web+iOS+Android apps on a single platform but I have no idea how good it is.

Thanks @ccc! I thought so, but good to be sure.
